Ok, I see that (from a brief look at your thread Christian) that there are issues with LO-331 and and that LO-332rc is better. Well hopefully 332 will be the latest stable for LO very soon and hopefully too this program, when it is run, will detect the version number difference. Well as long as the Libre server structure stays the same then this program should do just that!

How about adding an option to download libreoffice beta's or rc? Also, you can tackle OpenOffice so I won't need to upload that to playdayz anymore?

My, you are super fast. Interface is great, but I haven't been able to download the testing version, apparently their download site is getting a lot of traffic.

EDIT: 03/23/11, 1440 Still unsuccessful for the testing version, get "Failed to download Please try again later" message. I managed to snap picts of the download screens as they flashed by.

EDIT 2: Disregard above. The stable version doesn't download either, I went to the libreoffice site and discovered that they now offer LibreOffice 3.3.2 Final (2011-03-22) so there probably isn't a testing version available now. Because of the new release, the site probably has heavy traffic.

Thanks Jim,

Ok, looks like you trapped the libre site in their transitional period. Good news is that I just got the 'stable' version as 3.3.2 .. so that part of the code works. Now.. how to compare whether the latest stable is not the same as testing? Hmmm... a bit more difficult as I just checked and listed as 'testing' is 3.3.2rc2 . (now defunct). Well I guess this app may be a little premature, but in saying that, the libre guys probably haven't figured out their structure yet, so in that respect they are probably a bit immature.

I have been looking for the WM's (webmaster's) address to see if I can communicate with him/her/them but nothing found. (They may be a bit suspicious of all the hits they've been getting from my IP addy over the past week or so ).

Thanks for testing and if you come across any peculiarities let me know.

Sorry, but I believe that there is now a problem with the file name or path with the updated 3.3.2, since I still haven't been able to download the stable version either. I did download the files without any delay just using the download site.

Yes, well I guess that doesn't mean much... I have changed the message to "USB and DVD installs are unsupported". Reason is that you need lots of RAM, sure, I can do a test for that, but at the moment I'll wait until we see if this app is stable enough.

Thanks for report.

ver 0.6 is posted, the program quits if you choose "testing" and there is no testing version and recommends you get the stable version. It also quits if the servers are unresponsive with a "try again later" message._________________Woof Mailing List | keep the faith |

Well 3.4 is stable now so I updated the script to grab either 3.3.2 or 3.4.0, both in the stable branch. By the look of your errors the downloads weren't complete

They did change a lot of stuff so failure was inevitable anyway. The .desktop files are all changed.. they add that annoying "%U" to the exec line which fails in puppy, also they have modified the call paths, which actually is an improvement, I need to do less hacking in the script. I have added code to remove that %U and fix the icon paths if the version is greater than or equal to 3.4.0.

thanks for get_libreoffice-0.7.pet. Works fine now in Lupu 5.25 for 3.4.

Maybe you can help me to understand two mysteries?

Mystery 1:
First I used it in Icepuppy 013. Downloading, building sfs and mounting OK, but I'm not able to start any LibreOffice program. Also not after reboot. E.g. Draw:
Menu->Graphic->LibreOffice 3.4 Draw doesn't work.
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice3.4-draw.desktop doesn't work.
/opt/libreoffice3.4/share/xdg/draw.desktop doesn't work.

Running the last one in a terminal, I get 'Permission denied'
Permission set and running again, I get:

Code:

sh-4.1# ./draw.desktop
./draw.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 7: --draw: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics-flat-xml: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics-template: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.sun.xml.draw: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.sun.xml.draw.template: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.stardivision.draw: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 9: 3.4: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 10: 3.4: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 11: Program: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 12: Program: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 14: الرسم: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 15: কাৰ্যক্ৰম: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 16: de: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 17: рысавання: command not found
....

followed by a lot of similiar lines.

Mystery2:

I went back to Lupu 5.25 built and installed again, and tried the same:

Running in a terminal, I get 'Permission denied' and program doesn't work.
Permission set and running from terminal again, program also doesn't work and I get the same as before:

Code:

# ./draw.desktop
./draw.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 7: --draw: command not found
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics-flat-xml: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics-template: No such file or directory
./draw.desktop: line 8: application/vnd.sun.xml.draw: No such file or
...

very strange, indeed. have you tested another Puppy with your installed new Libre Office?
So it doesn't seem to be a problem of Mick's pet and it doesn't seem to be a problem of icepuppy (at last not only).

LO starts in all my other Puppies. However, in Wary 512 it starts initially, but when I want to install Java through Tools-Options it crashes as soon as I click on "Add".

OO runs fine without any problems.

That's strange, too.

Hi, wuwei,

As you know I installed Lo3.4 with your help and have been testing it. For the information of those here I would suggest not rushing into it. It works but is reportedly buggy. My concern is that it doesn't print - at all. Tronkel is pursuing this on the Lo users list now, I see.
